Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure fluid valve, a reservoir and a corresponding filling method.
- the invention more particularly relates to a multi-refill pressure fluid valve, in particular for a pressurized gas tank, comprising a body comprising a base intended to be fixed at an orifice of a pressure tank, the body defining an internal fluid withdrawal / filling circuit extending between an upstream end intended to be placed in relation with the storage volume of a reservoir and a downstream end intended to be placed in relation with a user organ receiving or dispensing gas, the valve comprising, arranged in series in the circuit, a residual pressure valve and an isolation valve, the valve comprising an actuating member of the isolation valve, the actuating member being movable between a first so-called "closing" position in which the isolation valve obstructs the circuit and a second position called “withdrawal” in which the valve insulation does not obstruct the circuit.
- the draw port also serves as a fill port
- a special tool such as a spool
- a known solution is to add a piston of suitable design which is located in the filling / filling port of the valve.
- This piston generally called "RPV / NRV valve” is systematically neutralizable mechanically via a push-button integrated in the tool of filling during tank filling operations.
- the various related dimensions are only rarely standardized. This causes tolerance dispersions (valve depth, valve travel) which can cause a geometrical incompatibility between the "RPV / NRV valve” and the filling tool equipped with its push-button. This can lead to damage to parts and / or uncontrolled gas flow conditions.
- the document EP220193 describes a filling device intended to be connected to the inlet of a reservoir to be filled.
- This device comprises a gas inlet connected to a source of gas under pressure and two outlet ports connected in parallel to the inlet via respective valves.
- a first outlet is provided to be connected to the tank to be filled and the second port is provided for venting to the atmosphere.
- the two valves are controlled by the respective positions of a pivoting lever allowing selectively either to close the two valves, or to open only the outlet valve (to fill a reservoir) or to open only the purge valve (to purge the internal circuit of the device).
- This device is unsuitable for use as a tank valve.
- the document US5018552 describes a tap but for single use (without refilling possible).
- This valve comprises an upstream residual pressure valve and a downstream isolation valve.
- a pusher selectively opens the downstream isolating valve (outlet fitting side).
- the residual pressure valve is provided to prevent refilling of the tank.
- US3981328 discloses a multi-refill pressure gas valve comprising an isolation valve and a residual pressure valve arranged in series.
- the isolation valve is arranged upstream (on the side of the tank) and the residual pressure valve is placed downstream (on the filling / withdrawal port side).
- a rotating handwheel controls the opening / closing of the isolation valve.
- a special tool is needed to operate a workpiece concentric with the axis of the rotating flywheel. This concentric piece controls the opening of the downstream residual pressure valve.
- This arrangement poses problems. Indeed, this architecture does not allow the user to know if the residual pressure valve is open or if it operates normally.
- downstream residual pressure valve is subjected to a violent pressure shock at each opening of the main isolation valve by the user, which generates on the one hand a significant mechanical fatigue and on the other hand can be a problem. factor conducive to inflammation due to the phenomenon of adiabatic compression under oxygen.
- the valve according to the invention is essentially characterized in that the residual pressure valve is situated upstream of the isolation valve and that the actuating member is movable in a third position called "filling" in which the isolation valve does not obstruct the circuit and wherein the residual pressure pressure valve is moved to an open position not obstructing the circuit, regardless of the pressure differential across the residual pressure valve.
- embodiments of the invention may include one or more of the following features:
- the downstream end of the circuit opens at a filling / withdrawal port for both filling and withdrawal, that is to say that the gas drawn by the valve flows from upstream to downstream in the circuit via the residual pressure valve and the isolation valve while the filling gas circulates in the circuit from downstream to upstream also via the isolation valve and the residual pressure valve,
- the actuating member of the isolation valve comprises a contact portion, and, depending on the position of the actuating member relative to the body, the contact portion actuating directly or indirectly one end of the isolation valve,
- the operation of the residual pressure valve is not altered, that is to say that the residual pressure valve closes the circuit when the pressure differential between its upstream and downstream ends is less than a determined threshold and does not close the circuit when the pressure differential between its upstream and downstream ends is greater than a determined threshold,
- the actuating member moves the residual pressure valve into an open position which does not obstruct the circuit via the isolation valve
- the second extraction position of the actuating member is situated between the first closed position and the third filled position
- the first closing position of the actuating member is situated between the second withdrawing position and the third filling position
- the lock (10) having at least one of : a mechanical lock, a magnetic lock
- the residual pressure valve comprises a non-return mechanism ("NRV") generating a force on the valve urging it towards its position obstructing the circuit when the valve is subjected to a differential pressure between the upstream and the upper downstream at a certain threshold
- the actuating member comprises a threaded shaft cooperating with a tapping in the body of the valve, the axis being secured to a handle or a manually operable flywheel,
- the actuating member comprises a lever articulated relative to the body, the lever comprising a cam profile cooperating with an axle movable in translation in the body of the tap,
- the isolation valve comprises a shutter movable relative to a seat and biased by a return member towards the seat to obstruct the circuit
- the residual pressure valve comprises a shutter movable relative to a seat and biased towards the seat by a return member to obstruct the circuit
- the shutter of the residual pressure valve is urged towards its seat by the return member from upstream to downstream,
- the one or more return members comprise one or more springs, in particular compression springs,
- the actuating member selectively actuates by pushing the isolation valve towards its position which does not obstruct the circuit
- the isolating valve urges the residual pressure valve into a position which does not obstruct the circuit
- downstream end of the circuit forms a single orifice for filling and withdrawing the fluid.
- the invention also relates to a pressurized gas tank comprising a valve according to any one of the above characteristics or hereafter.
- the invention also relates to a method for filling a pressurized gas tank comprising a valve, any one of the above characteristics or hereafter, the method comprising a step of moving the actuating member in its third filling position to open the residual pressure valve and the isolation valve, then a step of delivering a flow of fluid into the tank via the circuit, from downstream to upstream.
- the valve comprises a disengageable lock preventing by default access to the third position of the actuating member, the method comprising, prior to the step of moving the actuating member in its third position. filling position, a step of disengaging the lock.
- the invention may also relate to any alternative device or method comprising any combination of the above or below features.
- FIG. 1 represents a sectional view, diagrammatic and partial, illustrating a valve according to a first embodiment of the invention in which the two isolation and residual pressure valves are closed,
- FIG. 2 represents a view similar to that of FIG. 1 in which the isolation valve is open and the residual pressure valve is closed
- FIG. 3 represents a view similar to that of FIG. 1 in which the isolation valve is open and the residual pressure valve is open by differential pressure
- FIG. 4 represents a view similar to that of FIG. 1 in which the isolation valve is open and the residual pressure valve is opened by forced mechanical action
- FIG. 5 is a schematic and partial sectional view illustrating a valve according to a second embodiment of the invention in which the two isolation and residual pressure valves are closed,
- FIG. 6 represents a view similar to that of FIG. 5 in which the isolation valve is open and the residual pressure valve is closed
- FIG. 7 represents a view similar to that of FIG. 1 in which the isolation valve is open and the residual pressure valve is open by differential pressure
- FIG. 8 shows a view similar to that of Figure 1 wherein the valve is mounted on a bottle of pressurized fluid, the isolation valve is open and the residual pressure valve is opened by forced mechanical action.
- the valve illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a body 1 provided with a base 4 intended to be fixed at an orifice of a pressure tank.
- the base 4 is threaded.
- the body 1 defines an internal withdrawal / filling circuit for the fluid.
- This circuit 5 extends between an upstream end 2 and a downstream end 3.
- the upstream end 2 opens at the base 4 and is intended to be related to the storage volume of a reservoir (see reference 30, Figure 8).
- the downstream end 3 of circuit 5 opens at an orifice of the body 1, and preferably in a port 9 filling / withdrawal intended to be connected to a filling tool (downstream fluid flow 3 to the upstream 2) or withdrawal (upstream flow 2 downstream 3).
- the valve comprises, arranged in series in the circuit 5, a valve 6 of residual pressure and a valve 7 of insulation.
- the valve 6 residual pressure is located upstream of the valve 7 insulation.
- the valve 6 of residual pressure comprises for example a shutter movable relative to a seat 16 formed in the body 1.
- the movable shutter forming the valve 6 is biased towards the seat 16 by a return member 26 to obstruct the circuit 5. That is to say that the valve 6 residual pressure tends to obstruct (ie ie closing) the fluid passage in the circuit 5.
- This residual pressure valve 6 opens on the other hand if the pressure differential between its upstream and downstream ends is sufficient.
- the shutter of the residual pressure valve 6 is pushed towards the seat 16 from upstream to downstream.
- one or two internal channels 22 connect the upstream end 2 of the circuit 5 to a downstream surface of the valve 6 so that when the upstream pressure exceeds the force of the spring 26, the valve 6 is pushed upstream and departs from his seat to open circuit 5.
- the residual pressure valve 6 may comprise a non-return mechanism ("NRV") generating a force on the valve 6 urging it towards its position obstructing the circuit 5 when the valve 6 is subjected to a differential pressure between upstream and downstream higher than a determined threshold.
- NVM non-return mechanism
- the anti-return mechanism 36 comprises, for example, an internal channel communicating respectively with the downstream and upstream parts of the circuit 5. In this way, when the fluid pressure is relatively large downstream (in case of filling by the downstream end 3), fluid under pressure passes through the body of the valve 6 via the channel 36. The differential of downstream and upstream sections of the valve 6 is provided to cause in response a force that tends to close the valve 6 on its seat 16. This allows to prevent "wild" fillings using fluid pressure.
- the isolation valve 7 may also comprise a shutter movable relative to a seat 17.
- the shutter is urged towards the seat 17 by a return member 27 such as a spring 27 to obstruct the circuit 5 by default.
- a return member 27 such as a spring 27 to obstruct the circuit 5 by default.
- the shutter of the valve 7 of residual pressure is pushed towards the seat 17 from upstream to downstream by a spring, for example a compression spring.
- the valve conventionally comprises a member 8 for actuating the isolation valve 7 to selectively open the latter.
- the actuating member 8 comprises for example an upper end forming a handle integral with an axle 28 rotatably mounted in the body 1 of the valve.
- the axis 28 is for example threaded and cooperates with a tapping in the body 1 of the valve. In a first closed position of the actuating member 8, the isolation valve 7 is closed.
- the isolation valve 7 is moved a few millimeters (for example two to four millimeters) to ensure a flow rate of withdrawal from upstream to downstream without disturbing the operation of the valve 6 residual pressure / non-return .
- the two valves 6, 7 provide sufficient passages for high filling rates (flow coefficient Cv of the order of 0.4, for example), to limit the filling time without causing a safety risk as a result. overheating.
- valve 6 residual pressure / non-return is preferably placed in the same conduit of the circuit 5 and preferably along the same axis as the valve 7 isolation. Other orientations may, however, be envisaged enabling actuation of the valve 6 by the isolation valve 7.
- This architecture makes it possible to dispose the valve 6 of residual pressure / non-return upstream of the isolation valve while simplifying the kinematics of connection during filling operations.
- this architecture makes it possible to overcome a push-button in the filling tool.
- a single actuating member 8 makes it possible to manage all the configurations (closing / withdrawal / filling).
- the first position (see FIG. 1) of the actuating member 8 makes it possible to secure the closure, for example for a transport phase of the tank.
- the second position (see Figures 2 and 3) of the actuating member 8 allows the withdrawal.
- the third position (see Figure 4) of the actuating member 8 allows the filling. It is possible to envisage an intermediate position between the first and second positions in which the isolation valve is closed but the end of the axis is flush with the isolation valve 7 to be ready for rapid opening.
- the third position of the actuating member 8 is not easily accessible or accessible only via a particular kinematic or accessible only after a greater force or an unlocking of a lock 10 (see Figure 3) preventing the access to the third position.
- the lock 10 comprises for example at least one of: a mechanical lock, a magnetic lock.
- the return to another position than the third position automatically re-locks the lock, for example elastically.
- At least one of the above positions may, where appropriate, be stable and marked in the displacement of the actuating member 8.
- Figures 5 to 8 illustrate another embodiment of the valve.
- the elements identical to those described above are designated by the same reference numerals and are not described a second time.
- the embodiment of Figures 5 to 8 differs from that of Figures 1 to 4 only in that the actuating member 8 comprises a lever articulated on the body and in that, in Figure 8, the valve is mounted in the orifice of a reservoir 30.
- the opening / closing states of the two valves 6, 7 of FIGS. 5 to 8 respectively correspond to the states of FIGS. 1 to 4.
- the actuating member 8 comprises a lever articulated relative to the body 1.
- the lever comprises, for example, a cam profile cooperating with a first end of an axis movable in translation in the body 1 of the tap (of waterproof way).
- the second end of the movable axis 48 comes into contact with the downstream end of the isolation valve 7.
- the lever of the actuating member 8 is for example arranged along the body (but not necessarily, another angular position of the lever could correspond to this state of closure).
- the lever of the actuating member 8 is for example rotated at an angle of 20 to 120 degrees relative to the first position.
- the lever of the actuating member 8 is for example rotated at an angle of 120 to 320 degrees relative to the first position.
- the positions may be stable and marked in the displacement of the actuating member 8, for example via a suitable cam profile 1.
- the third position of the actuating member 8 is not easily accessible or accessible only via a particular kinematic or accessible only after a force or unlocking of a lock preventing by default access to the third position .
- the second withdrawal position of the actuating member 8 may be located for example between the first closed position and the third filling position, or between the second withdrawal position and the third filling position.
